New Zealand Shepherd's Pie image

A kiwi classic traditions old with a modern twist to suit busy lifestyles. This can be made ahead of time, assembled at the last minute, or made and frozen then thawed in the fridge and popped in the oven to brown the potato topping or to reheat.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 dish, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon oil
500 g lean ground beef
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
420 g pasta sauce
500 ml water
10 button mushrooms, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely diced
1 zucchini, finely diced
3 cups mashed potatoes

Steps:

  • Brown the mince and garlic in the oil in a hot pan, breaking the mince up into small pieces with wooden spoon or potato masher.
  • Add chopped veges, pasta sauce and water, stirring after each addition.
  • Bring to a simmer and half cover pot. Cook 10-15 mins or until most of liquid evaporated and veges are soft to touch.
  • Spoon mixture into casserole dish and top with mashed potato (you can pipe it or just pile it on and smooth out the top).
  • Bake at 180°C for about 15 minutes or until top is golden.
  • Suggestions: I add grated cheese, milk and a pinch of green herb seasoning to the potato before mashing, then fill a plastic bag, cut the corner off and pipe it in a nice pattern over the top.
